Zhu Chao accompanied me to watch short videos

[In 210 BC, after the death of the First Emperor, Zhao Gao and others launched a coup, tampered with the Emperor's will, and Hu Hai succeeded to the throne and killed Prince Fusu with a forged edict]

[After Hu Hai ascended to the throne, he imposed corvée labor on a large scale, further exacerbating the exploitation and oppression of the people. At the same time, Zhao Gao monopolized power in the court and massacred loyal officials.]

[In 209 BC, Chen Sheng and Wu Guang started an uprising in Daze Township and shouted out the famous phrase "Are kings, princes, generals, and ministers of different species?"]

[In 207 BC, Xiang Yu, an old noble of the Chu State, defeated the Qin army, which is known in history as the Battle of Julu. In the same year, Zhao Gao killed Hu Hai and made Ziying the King of Qin. Soon after, Liu Bang invaded Guanzhong, Ziying surrendered, and Qin II died! ]

——"Alas, it's a pity that after seven generations of wise rulers in the Qin Dynasty, a thing like Hu Hai appeared in the end!"

——"The number seven is magical, such as seven dragon balls, seven fairies, seven gourd dolls, and if you gather seven wise kings, you can summon Hu Hai!"

——"Alas, my Fusu, how could someone be so stupid as to commit suicide after seeing an imperial edict? You can fight them with Meng Tian's army! You have soldiers, so what are you afraid of? Don't say it's fake. Even if it's real, you can make it fake."

——"If he really did that, he would not be Fusu, and Zheng Ge would not put him next to Meng Tian."

——"If my ancestor knew what happened later, he would be so angry and sad. His empire collapsed overnight, and his eldest son died because of a forged imperial edict."

——“Cold Fact: The Legend of Qin has existed longer than the Qin Dynasty.”

——"Don't mention it. I was in elementary school when I watched the first season of Qin Ming. Now my child is two years old and it hasn't finished yet."

Great Qin.

In front of the Xianyang Palace, the atmosphere was extremely solemn at this moment!

The palace maids, attendants, soldiers, civil and military officials, all knelt on the ground, not daring to even breathe.

Ying Zheng, who had just been lamenting that he was the greatest emperor of all time, now had a frosty face, icy eyes, and a murderous aura that almost solidified into substance.

Hu Hai succeeded to the throne?

Fusu committed suicide?

The Qin Emperor died?

Looking at Zhao Gao, who was kneeling on the ground, sweating all over and shaking like a sieve.

Ying Zheng’s face was as ugly as it could be.

How dare such a useless person tamper with his will?

"Your Majesty! I am innocent! Even if I had the courage of a bear or a leopard, I would not dare to do such a treasonous thing."

"Besides, even if I have the intention, I don't have the ability to do so!"

This is exactly what Ying Zheng is confused about. It is impossible for Zhao Gao alone to accomplish what Tianmu said.

that……

Ying Zheng slowly turned around and looked at Li Si who was kneeling behind him.

If there is anyone in the Qin Dynasty who can tamper with the edict of succession and make people believe it, it can only be this prime minister.

"Lis!"

Ying Zheng's cold voice sounded.

"Chen is here!"

"Were you involved in this?"

Li Si: “???”

He really wanted to reply, “How the hell would I know?”, but he only dared to think about it in his heart.

He knew that the First Emperor was not asking him a question but was observing his attitude.

He also understood that he was probably involved.

Prince Fusu was close to Confucianism. If he succeeded to the throne, he, a Legalist, would inevitably be kicked out of the center of power. For the sake of power and the interests of the school, he probably helped Zhao Gao.

Otherwise, even if Zhao Gao issued a hundred edicts of succession, as long as he did not recognize them, the civil and military officials would not recognize them!

In the end, all my thoughts turned into three words: "I am guilty!"

He was gambling that the First Emperor would still find him useful.

Win, live!

If you lose, you die!

Ying Zheng looked at Li Si with cold eyes. He was not a indecisive person.

But now it is only a few years before his death, and he still has a lot of things to do. Without Li Si's help, many things will be difficult for him to carry out.

After a long silence, Ying Zheng shouted in annoyance, "Someone come!"

The two guards immediately stood up and waited for the Emperor's order.

"Drag Zhao Gao down and have him torn to pieces by chariots. Execute him immediately!"

"Your Majesty, please spare my life, Your Majesty! I am innocent! What Tianmu said must be false, it is nonsense, Your Majesty must not believe it!"

Zhao Gao tried to crawl to Ying Zheng like a dead dog to beg for mercy, but before he could get far, the guards grabbed his feet and dragged him further away.

"Lis!"

"Chen is here!"

"Get up, I have a few things to tell you." Ying Zheng's voice was neither happy nor sad, and no emotion could be heard.

Anyone who really stands up at this time is a fool.

Li Si was not stupid, on the contrary he was very smart. Even though his legs were already sore, he still knelt on the ground without any deformation in his movements.

"Please... Your Majesty, please give your orders."

"First, draft an edict to recall Fusu and prepare for the appointment of the crown prince."

"Secondly, Prince Hu Hai is young and naughty, with bad behavior, so he is confined to the deep palace and is not allowed to leave the palace for the rest of his life."

"Third, find Chen Sheng, Wu Guang, Xiang Yu and Liu Bang, and bring them to me. If they resist, kill them on the spot!"

"Fourth, the Qin Dynasty fell due to an uprising, perhaps because the laws were too harsh, causing the people to be angry. You and the other officials should discuss how to appease the people."

"Li Si, I keep you here because you are useful, don't make mistakes!"

"As you command, I obey." After Li Si kowtowed and accepted the order, he was reluctant to stand up.

Only after the First Emperor turned around and stopped looking at him did he let out a long sigh, slowly stood up, and quietly wiped the cold sweat from his forehead where Ying Zheng couldn't see.

Finally escaped.

However, it was estimated that it would be difficult for him to escape the knife that the First Emperor would strike before his death.

After beating Li Si, Ying Zheng looked up at the sky.

Resentment and regret are intertwined in my heart.

Such an arrangement is only a temporary solution and does not address the root cause.

It’s a pity that I don’t have much time left!

……

Han Dynasty.

Emperor Wu of Han, Liu Che, looked at the picture on the sky curtain and sneered disdainfully: "Ying Zheng was wise all his life, but he had such a stupid son. It's ridiculous. If my son was so stupid, I would have given him poisoned wine long ago. Living is a waste of food, it's better for him to die."

Wei Qing didn't dare to respond to this, but seeing Liu Che staring at him, Wei Qing knew that he wanted to hear him praise the prince, so he could only smile helplessly and said, "Although the prince is young, he is naturally intelligent, honest and righteous, and naturally a hundred or a thousand times better than Hu Hai."

"Hahahaha, well said! Juer is indeed good, similar to me! Similar to me!"

Liu Che laughed out loud when he heard this. Regardless of anything else, at least in terms of offspring, he was better than Ying Zheng.

……

Tang Dynasty.

Li Shimin looked at Crown Prince Li Chengqian with eyes full of love.

"Guanyin, it seems that I am more wise. The reason why Qin Ershi was able to forge an imperial edict to ascend the throne and successfully usurp the throne was because the First Emperor did not clearly determine the crown prince."

"Unlike me, I appointed Cheng Qian as the crown prince very early on. Cheng Qian also lived up to his expectations. Those I sent to teach him all praised him for his early wisdom, rigorous scholarship, and deep benevolence and filial piety. I'm sure he will be a wise ruler in the future!"

Empress Changsun did not respond to Li Shimin's self-praise, and looked at Li Chengqian with the same doting attitude.

She knows her own child well. As long as nothing goes wrong, he will be a benevolent ruler even if he is not a wise one.
